VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Katharine!

I work with clients coping with chronic and life-threatening illnesses, disability, and grief, especially how these challenges affect families. My approach is integrative, meaning I use a combination of therapy methods depending on your needs and preferences.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals and families coping with chronic or life-threatening illnesses, disabilities, and grief. I also have expertise with the LGBTQI community, people in recovery from addictive behaviors, and those impacted by the criminal justice system.

My approach

I typically combine client-centered supportive therapy to validate your struggles, cognitive-behavioral therapy to address self-defeating thought patterns, somatic techniques for mind-body connection, and holistic therapy honoring your spiritual side. I welcome your input on which methods feel right.
